Linear Alternation; Direct Current

Harvesting Kinetic Energy Through Linear Alternation by Seth Woodbury, Lochlyn Reed, and Max Eyster Abstract The focus of this research was to harness human kinetics as an alternative energy source. Two body parts (shoulder and calf) of 20 randomly selected subjects were tested with a modified accelerometer that measured movement in all three dimensions which ultimately concluded the calf generates the most movement. A linear alternator was created to fit on the calf and utilize […]
